[Max] I need help! / Tiling a material on decal? How to? [SOLVED]

« on: 2024-01-11, 20:58:10 »

Hi Everyone, is it possibile to use tile a material on corona decal? I am using corona 11.

I have a polished concrete material with his uvw map and I want to overlap on this just the bump of another cracked concrete material with a totally different dimension.
If I use the new corona decal, checking only bump (or bump and displace), I don't see the option to tile this material.

Any suggestions? Thank you!!!

[Scatter] I need help! / Unexplained "alopecia" spots with Scatter!

« on: 2023-11-07, 20:33:51 »

Hi everyone,
I have tried them all!
The only way to fill this hole in the scattering is by removing a large amount of polygons from the surface.
It is not related to the slope option, I checked.
There are no exclude/include.
And Why right there though? It is always there. Even if I clone the surface and I make some editing on it.
I don't understand.
I attached two images, in the second one the render is on orto mode from top to show the entire "alopecia" spot.
Thank you!

[Max] I need help! / [solved] Chaos Cosmos asset disappeared

« on: 2023-08-29, 12:54:24 »

Dear Chaotics,
yesterday [all my troubles seemed so far away] I was browsing Cosmos and I found a perfect plywood materials that I was looking for (see attachments). I downloaded the asset but Max seemed to be frozen so I did a forced shutdown of Max.
When I opened Cosmos again three of five plywood assets were not there anymore. I checked on my folder and I actually downloaded the 50cm plywood texture but now I can not see it on Cosmos. I updated to Corona 10 to check if that was the problem but it is the same. What can I do?

Thank you!

[Max] I need help! / [solved] Smoother shadow with HDRI?

« on: 2023-07-18, 12:46:04 »

Dear Experts,
is it possible to make the shadows coming only from an HDRI image smoother? I mean as it was made increasing the sun dimension but without using any Corona Sun (the typical Sun-HDRI linking).
I think the idea could be something like making the HDRI more blurred just for the light source, maintaing the direct visibility, reflection and refraction not blurred.
Thank you!

[Max] I need help! / [Solved] What am I doing wrong with Tonemap Control Texmap?

« on: 2023-06-13, 18:57:11 »

I've tried all the combinations, but when I change the tone mapping, the environment keeps changing along with the rest. I have already tried restarting the interactive render.
This is just a test but I have a job to finish and I don't know how to do it! Thank you very much!
